Fan + Medal Calculus help / checking

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

Would this be correct?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Look at the limit as it comes from the left and right

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

Or I am thinking it is Does not exist since it says the limit -> 3 not 3+ or 3-

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Good!

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

A little confused. I think it y=2 Since you take the leading coefficients 2x^3/x^4 which gets you 2/x

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

when \(x\) approaches to \(+\infty\) or to \(-\infty\), then I can rewrite your function as below: \[\huge f\left( x \right) = \frac{{\frac{2}{x} + \frac{9}{{{x^4}}}}}{{1 + \frac{{81}}{{{x^4}}}}}\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What are the asymptotes of the function?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Hey Michele haha :P

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. \[\huge f\left( x \right) = \frac{{\frac{2}{x} + \frac{9}{{{x^4}}}}}{{1 - \frac{{81}}{{{x^4}}}}}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

lol :) @Astrophysics the same idea!!

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

x=3 x=-3 y=0

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the end behaviour, means the behaviour at the boundary of the real line what do you think @Astrophysics ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yeah pretty much, you look at where x is getting really big/ small in simple terms

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So check where x -> + inf and x-> - inf

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

The question says most closely matches. So it would be y=0 or would it be y=2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: when \(x\) approaches to \(+\infty\) or to \(-\infty\), we have this: \[\Large \frac{2}{x} \to 0,\quad \frac{9}{{{x^4}}} \to 0,\quad \frac{{81}}{{{x^4}}} \to 0\]

OpenStudy (arianna1453):

So y=0 is the correct answer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

:)
